Home audio could reference anything that is designed to allow you to play audio inside the comfort of your own home. This includes the radio, CDs, MP3 songs from your MP3 player, songs from your iPod and more. Home Stereo Shelf Systems: Take a receiver, subwoofer, front and rear speakers and a CD player and pack it into one, sophisticated audio system designed to sit on your shelf or an audio stand. Directly connect your MP3 player or iPod to the system via the iPod connection or 3.5mm input for MP3 players and you're all set. Complete Home Audio Systems: This is where you buy components separately and can achieve "rock star" sound. You can choose a 5.1 or 7.1 home stereo receiver and add a separate CD player and radio tuner, even a cassette player.
Choosing Home Theater Speaker Wire

The good news is that you can get a noticeable sound quality difference from your speakers with a minimal investment in good quality speaker wires. Choosing home theatre speaker wire is not an exact science but there are simple rules that you should follow when selecting speaker wire for your audio and hifi system. The gauge number, which is available by the standard AWG or American Wire Gauge, identifies the cable thickness. The lower the AWG gauge number of a speaker wire indicates the capacity or ability to more better pass the electrical audio signal through the speaker wiring conductor. As a rule of thumb it is advisable to select speaker wire gauge from the following guideline of distance vs cable gauge:
Distance from hi-fi / home cinema system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 feet)=16 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home audio system to loudspeaker (More than 180 feet)=12 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home cinema system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 feet)=16 gauge.
Distance from hi-fi / home audio system to loudspeaker (More than 180 feet)=12 gauge.

Do you like going to the movie theater and get lost in the realism that their superior sound systems create? There were no crying babies, ringing mobile phones or noisy youths in movie theaters and if they got in they were soon kicked out if there was any row.
If you are one of the stay-at-homes, but miss the cinema, why not recreate one in your home?
Build yourself a home cinema with surround sound. A lot of people buy a kit home theater. If you want to get everything part by part, you will need a screen, speakers and DVD player. Decide whether you need a 3.1; 4.1; 5.1; 6.1 or even 7.1 set of compatible surround sound speakers. As a guideline, a 5.1 surround sound set will be sufficient for most rooms. The figures stand for normal speakers and sub-woofers: ie 5.1 means five normal speakers and one sub-woofer.

Home audio subwoofers are now available for your purchase. When investing in one, the same rules on car audio subwoofers apply.
In a home theater system, the subwoofer is the biggest speaker. Home audio subwoofers, even when hidden, are still designed for aesthetic purposes.
You should also double check whether the amplifier goes well with your subwoofers and speakers. Like in car subwoofers, the home audio subwoofers should be compatible with both the speakers and the amplifier.
You can also manipulate the settings so that the home audio subwoofers give you the sound that you've been meaning to hear.

Personally speaking my early childhood was spent watching a relatively small black and white television - the only one it the house. The steps forward in technology in general, and home entertainment systems in particular, has been nothing short of spectacular. It takes a particular level of expertise to understand both the technological issues inherent in successfully wiring up your new home cinema equipment, and the aesthetic challenges in ensuring that it looks as good as it sounds. So not only has the technology behind home cinema and audio visual equipment moved forward leaps and bounds in the 21st century, so have the skills needed to implement them.
